Help!! Can't make my mind up. Anybody got any thoughts??

Well, not much to go on...

Hello and welcome to the forum. If you want some constructive advice, give us a bit more info about what you want to take photos of etc.

If not, then buy the Olympus E620 (I have fallen out with Sony this week

)

I'd say the only thing I don't do a great lot of is portraits. So apart from that my photography is a fairly mixed bag.
My current camera is a Fuji S100fs.
Nice to see a Canon man recommending Olympus!! How have Sony been annoying you?

It depends on what you are going to do, I have the Sony A700 and I really like it except for high ISO I wouldn't use it over ISO400. But most of what I do I stay with 100 anyway

I upgraded my vaio laptop to Windows 7 and the graphics card, webcam, and microphone needed new drivers. Sony basically said they don't support windows 7 on my laptop! (its only 2 yrs old)

Anyway, I sorted the issues out myself via google and the geekheads

Should have got a mac

I see google aren't using windoze PC's any more.

its working real good right now. Windows 7 has definitely helped a lot

Yeah google, they dont have an agenda at all....

**Midnight** · 04-06-2010, 01:22 PM

...and we're off on another tangent. Anyone going to actually answer the question besides Photocol?

**rjd** · 04-06-2010, 01:42 PM

OK...

Unless you want smaller camera and or a m43rds body and cross use the lenses buy the sony.

Hi Guys, finally made a decision, after weeks of trawling the net for reviews etc. Now the proud owner of a Sony A550 with twin lens'. Got a good deal & good service from Camera Warehouse.
